Hey, thanks for commenting on the poor cousin amongst my games!

Yeah, SFML is pretty rad. I still use it and I really look forward to the next big revision.

Yarr, don’t try to make me do your job while faking judging me for the real job! Nice engaging game and congrats on getting a new library under your belt.

Wow, I didn’t hope to actually receive anymore comments so long after january. Thanks for your praise!

I hope it won’t take me too long to find the time to work at an EGP game again

This is a pretty good submission. You did get it to the point where it is fun, so congratulations. It has nice polish and good gameplay and is still unique enough to stand on its own.

Heh, yes, and since I know you “solved” it very fast, that’s one hell of a message about your work ethics

And yes, I’m also not convinced that the current concept could make a fun game. It is more about the message (which sadly isn’t very strong due to already mentioned time constraints) and the theme, so I guess that makes it into another didn’t-turn-out-too-well-art-game.

I actually quite like your concept regarding rebelling against the game and turning on and off game mechanics – but not for this contest, not enough time. Maybe another time!

But anyway, I learnt a new library (SFML) and collected a bit of experience with plattformer development, so it was worth my time.

Well, I could tell you in person cause you are sitting right next to me, but as you like to have comments: I have beaten the Game and got rejected at the job interview (but i won’t tell how)!
Does this tell something about my work-ethics?
To the game mechanics itself: yeah, it’s only a prototype so I won’t be to harsh in my judgement… it’s quite okay for that, but I’m still not sure if it’s a concept that could lead to a good game with further development. I still wonder what the fun things would be you would do in a game when rejecting the “game mechanics” and do your “own stuff” (as we discussed during development – to elucidate – your idea was that you do something else, something more funny if you are bored of what “the game” tells you to do…). Or better to say: i wonder if they would be truly funny. But I’m still open for surprises…
